Kellie Olsen, Teacher & Tutor

From 2024:
“I took Joan (the black widow 🕷️) on a field field trip to school today. She visited a bunch of classrooms and the kids were so excited! I love that even the ones who were hesitant to look at her didn’t scream or act melodramatic. The kids at this school have so much respect for nature. 💚 I was telling them about how yes, the black widow is venomous, but she’s really shy and doesn’t actually want to bite you. One adorable first grader said, “Yeah, it’s just a defense mechanism!” 🥹”

It's SLOW SUNDAY! 🐌💚 Share a picture of your family slowing down and connecting today or from this past week!

I talked with several international leaders in Banff, and most are bringing back play, recess, and more hands on learning.

I’ve had the good fortune of being able to help homeschool one of my nieces this spring! Like my other homeschool students, she helped design the birthday crown I made for her. 👑
